A few photos from last night at my in-law's. This was just about midnight, after waking the kids up and trying to keep them awake for those last couple of minutes before the fireworks started. We cranked up the tunes, and away we went....





Well, some of us did. Lukas just thought we were a bunch of weirdos and opted to curl up in Opa's chair instead.



Yes, we are a family of colossal dorks. And? ;c)

And now we just have to survive tomorrow. :c) The kids are happy with what they have so far. Both the kids got this book (boys' and girls', respectively), and I can't recommend them highly enough. Marissa is already busy reading about how to escape zombies, whistle with her fingers, make a drum, and win a staring contest. Wish I'd had this when I was a kid! The boys' and girls' versions are different, so I told them to team up and learn from each other. :c)

Lukas did a literal dance for joy when he got his Link plushie. Now he's off playing Super Mario Galaxy. There will be a few more gifts tomorrow, but for reasons of fairness we all agreed to limit the amount spent on the gifts, so all the kids get approximately the same stuff.

I'm just waiting to see if we get a new niece/nephew. My SIL is due any minute now, so we're all sitting on pins and needles in expectation. :c)
